Anxiety quotes from Inside Out 2 (2024)

View Quote [Just as Riley arrives at hockey camp, she comes face-to-face with Valentino Ortiz.]
Val: You're the one Coach told us about. Riley, from... Michigan, right?
Anger: It's Minnesota, sweetie!
Disgust: No, no, no, no! We cannot correct Val Ortiz. [The console suddenly turns orange, with Riley speaking in an anxious manner.]
Riley: Yep, that's me. Riley from good ol' Michigan. [chuckles nervously]
Joy: [confused] Orange? Who made the console orange?
Anger: Do I look orange?
Fear: I didn't touch it.
Disgust: Orange is not my color.
Sadness: Not me.
[As they back away, they see what appears to be a new orange emotion with upturn frizzy hair, and wearing a striped-orange and white sweater and brown pants.]
Anxiety: Hello, everybody! [the emotions scream in surprise as Joy protects them] Oh, my gosh. I am just such a huge fan of yours! And now, here I am, meeting you, face to face. [squeals] Okay. How can I help?
Joy: Uh...
Anxiety: I can either take notes, get coffee, manage your calendar, walk your dog, carry your things, watch you sleep.
Joy: Wow, you have a lot of energy. Maybe you could just stay in once place.
Anxiety: Anything. Just call my name and I'm here for you.
Joy: Okay, love that and what was your name again?
Anxiety: Oh! I'm sorry. I got ahead of myself. Uh, I'm Anxiety. Uh, I'm one of Riley's new emotions and we are just super jazzed to be here. [carries three suitcases on each arm] Where can I put my stuff?
Disgust: Ah-ah-ah. What do you mean "we"?
[A little cyan emotion with sparkly eyes then appears as she climbs up on the console.]
Envy: [sighs] I wish I was as tall as all of you...
Anger: Who the heck are you?
Envy: I'm Envy. [gazes at Disgust's hair] Oh, look at your hair.
Disgust: Oh, yeah. Not happening.
Envy: [looks at Val; gasps] Look at her hair! We need hair like that. [presses a button on the console]
Riley: Oh, my gosh. I love the red in your hair. [slowly reaches out her hand to touch Val's red streak]
Val: [nervously] Oh. Uh...
Disgust: [gasps] What are you doing!? [panicky grabs Envy and pulls her away from the console]
Riley: Hey, maybe when I make the team, I can join Team Redhead, too! Yeah, yeah!
[A big pink emotion, wearing a gray hoodie, presses his hand on the console, making her blush in shock as he whimpers.]
Anger: Okay, who's this guy?
Sadness: What's your name, big fella?
Anxiety: That's Embarrassment. He's not really big on eye contact or like good talking, but he's a really sweet guy.
Joy: Well, welcome to Headquarters, Embarrassment. Oh. We're doing a fist? No? Going high. [high-fives him] You got a real sweaty palm there, buddy. [Embarrassment whimpers and kneels on the floor]
Val: Hey. You want to come with me, actually? We can meet some of the other Fire Hawks.
Anxiety: Oh, this is exciting. But we can't let her know we're excited. [The console then turns indigo]
Riley: [nonchalantly] Yep. Sounds good.
Anger: What emotion was that?
Anxiety: That's Ennui.
Joy: En-what?
[Pan over to Ennui, an indigo emotion wearing a tracksuit and socks, lounging on the couch while addicting to her phone]
Ennui: [groans] Ennui. It's what you would call "the boredom".
Joy: Well, come on up here, En-wur. Am I saying it right? En-wah. No. Oh! Nicknames! I'm gonna call you Oui-Oui.
Ennui: [uncaringly] Non.
Fear: How are you driving?
Ennui: Console app. [shows the app on her phone, demonstrating how it works]
Anger: Hey! Stop it! That's enough.
Joy: Now, now, I know new emotions can sometimes feel unhelpful at first, and you just want to... [squeezes Sadness] say to them, "Why are you so annoying?". But I've learned that every emotion is good for Riley. [tussles Sadness' hair] Even this turkey.
Anger: [reluctantly] Okay, fine.
[Ennui uses her console app, making Riley act wearily.]
Riley: Cool. Lead the way.
Val: All right, grab your stuff and follow me.

View Quote Ennui: [exhausted] Why are we up so early?
Anxiety: Because mon-ami, we need to speed things up. And that means we hit the ice early and practice like we've never practiced before.
Ennui: Aren't we already good at hockey?
Envy: We're good, but the Fire Hawks are great.
Anxiety: That's right. [Riley misses a puck, making her skate around the rink] Every time we miss, we skate a lap around the rink. Hockey is not a game; it is a sport.
Envy: That was amazing.
Anxiety: We need to be that good every time. Let's run it again.
Val: Hey, I see I'm not the only one who likes to start early.
Anxiety: You guys, it's Val! We had the same idea!
Envy: We're basically the same person. We're gonna be best friends!
Val: How long have you been here?
Riley: I-I don't know. Maybe an hour? I just wanted to get in some extra ice time.
Val: I'm the same way.
Anxiety: Oh, my gosh. She gets us.
Val: See? I told the other girls you'd figure it out. You get what it takes to be the best.
Envy: Look at us. This is going great.
Anxiety: Yeah, but we need Val to really like us.
Envy: Oh! We should ask Val lots of questions. People love talking about themselves.
Riley: So, what was your freshman year on the Fire Hawks like?
Val: I mean… It was a lot of work. Like a lot. But it's also how I met my best friends.
Anxiety: Val is sharing things with [squeals] US!
Val: Hey, a few of us are just gonna hang out tonight, order some food. You should come!
Envy: An exclusive invitation. Mwah-ha-ha! We're going!
Riley: Really?
Val: Definitely! It'll be fun.
Coach Roberts: Alright, ladies, let's warm up.
Grace: Hey, Riley.
Riley: Hi.
Envy: Huh! We are not sharing Val with them.
Val: Early mornings make me so hungry.
Riley: I know, right? I'd give anything for a piece of pizza right now.

View Quote Riley: [sarcastically] Oh, yeah. Get Up and Glow is so awesome.
Bree: Riley, what are you talking about? You love Get Up and Glow.
Riley: Oh! Uh... Hey, guys.
Envy: [growls frustratedly] Oh, why are our best friends always trying to hang out with us!?
Grace: Come on, Riley, we just went to their concert.
Riley: Well, yeah. I mean, sure. But like…
Bree: But what?
Grace: We had a great time!
Anxiety: Grace, you are not helping.
[Ennui presses the console again.]
Riley: [sarcastically] Oh, yeah. We had a great time.
[The Sar-Chasm keeps growing.]
Joy: Why can't they just leave her alone?
Anger: What are we gonna do now, Joy?!
Joy: We go the long way, which is the best way. Stretch those hammies, Anger! Let's go!

View Quote Anxiety: All we got to do is to sneak into her office and read it. Come on, Riley, move those feet.
Envy: She doesn't want to...?
Anxiety: Are we pushing her too hard?
Envy: We have got to see what's in the notebook. It's the only way for us to know how we can do better. [touches the console]

View Quote [After Sadness uses Ennui's phone to stop Riley from looking through Coach Roberts' notebook.]
Anxiety: Wait, why'd she stop? [gasps, seeing the console turning blue] Sadness? Ennui! Where's your phone?
Ennui: [starts panicking] Ooh-la-la... My phone! Where is my phone? Seriously?! [looks under the couch] This is not happening! No, no, no, no, NO!
Anxiety: Okay, she's gotta be here somewhere. Find her.
Envy: GOTCHA!
[Envy and Ennui shove the binders to catch Sadness, but she's not there; Embarrassment sighs in relief.]

View Quote Coach Roberts: [blowing her whistle after Riley aggressively slams into Grace by accident; sharply] Andersen! Penalty box, two minutes.
Anxiety: [horrified] NO!
Bree: Grace, are you okay?
[Riley watches Bree and Coach Roberts checking on Grace to see if she's alright.]
Envy: We hurt Grace!
Anxiety: It all happened so fast. I didn't even see her!

View Quote Anxiety: I love our girl.
Joy: How could you not? She's super smart.
Sadness: And great at hockey.
Disgust: She's really creative.
Ennui: She can be bored, but never boring.
Joy: But she can be a little sarcastic from time to time.
Fear: She can have really bad ideas.
Anger: Occasionally, she can do the wrong things.
Joy: Sometimes, she can be too hard on herself, but every bit of Riley makes her who she is. And we love all of our girl. Every messy, beautiful piece of her.

View Quote [During the end credits at the Andersen house; the Andersens are eating dinner at the table]
Jill: So, Riley, how was camp?
[Zoom into Riley's mind]
Joy: Okay, we talked about this. We tell them everything.
Riley: Uh...
Anxiety: But what about sneaking into Coach's office?
Anger: What about hitting Grace?
Envy: Remember the lying?
Disgust: Are we gonna tell her about the Fire Hawks?
Anger: She doesn't need to know.
Fear: Objection!
Ennui: Pardon. Excusez moi. [presses a button on the console app on her phone]
Riley: [nonchalantly] It was good. [eats her food]
[Jill makes a "Please tell me you're joking" look before zooming into her mind and her emotions.]
Jill's Anger: She goes away for three days and all we get is, "good"?
Jill's Anxiety: [appears from the curtains] And what about the red in her hair?! Did she join a gang?
Jill's Sadness: [gives her tea to chill] Welcome back, Anxiety.
[Zoom into Bill's mind and his emotions.]
Bill's Anxiety: [pops up] She goes away for three days and all we get is, "good"?!
Bill's Anger: Yeah. Sounds right. Back to the game.
